The Drake Hotel has been seen in Risky Business (It's where Joel aka; Tom Cruise & his pal go to find the Hooker (Rebecca DeMorney) and meet up with "Guido - The Killer Pimp". It is also where the comment is made "$4.00 for a cup of coffee" in the movie. Mind you, that was the price back in 1983.

The Drake has also been used for "My Best Friends Wedding" and "What Women Want", among other films. The Drake is a 5 star Hotel.

i think when they're almost 3 years old you can drop the "months" thing ;P

Yeah, I know. I could have said 2 1/2 year old, but she's already past it. I just wanted to give her precise age when she rode this horse without daddy nearby. Quite an accomplishment. :D

Gonna have a birthday party for our almost one year old on Sunday the 8th. Her actual bday is the 18th, but we're celebrating it early due to my parents going out of town that week and my wife's sister is due to have her 5th child any day now. Then my bday on the 10th. June is heavy on my side: 5 birthdays, 2 anniversaries, plus Father's Day. :D

Getting AppleCare this weekend, paying off the CCs, and going to the fair with mah love.

Payday today, and we haven't got a lot of work to get done, so I should be out by 330.

Oh, and has there ever been the thought of having an iPhone/BlackBerry/Smartphone friendly version of the forums?

Could be nice. :)

I got out the 23rd of May ;)

Just to say this, I had to work with windows yesterday (ugh) and i was installing a Belkin wireless card on it. The integrated wireless card on the laptop died..somehow... and the CD drive broke; also, without reason. I should have known to get a USB, so i could set it up on the OTHER windows computer (which is equipped with an outdated Pentium 4 processor) and just transfer the software and hardware files over to the laptop. Anyways, when I got home, I forgot that with Windows, you have to install a stupid driver with EVERY piece of hardware you buy. And now, I had to send it in to get it done for me, because I couldn't insert the software CD. pretty pathetic, really.

Okay everyone, it's almost been 12 hours.....WAY TO NOT SAY ANYTHING.

I've been busy because the weather is SO GREAT.
Just kidding, we had HUGE storms.
I had an open house at a park during the storms, it was great fun. I'm not kidding.

Okay, i'm a REALLY jealous person.
I mean, i'll see my friends with my other friends, and not me, and it makes me crazy.
They do a LOT of things outside of school I never hear about.
Sometimes, it just gets to me...
